Description

Follow the link above and sign up for an account at Code.org. Be sure to use your Hendrix email address, since this is the only way we will be able to assign you a grade for this lab. If working with a partner, put both partners' names in the name field.

Work through the stages of the Minecraft programming section. First, just try to solve each puzzle by piecing together a valid solution. Then, focus on being efficient in your code, as each level has a minimum number of blocks that can be used to develop a solution.

Note that the final "open-ended" level is just for fun and does not need to be completed in order to complete the lab.
